Safer Internet Day 2015 will be celebrated globally on Tuesday 10 February with the
slogan Lets create a better internet together.
Mr Gilbert (Technology Leader) and Mrs White (Learning Mentor) led an assembly about
how to be a good online citizen for the children in Year 2 to Year 6. Mrs White recently
delivered a session to Year 6 about awareness and understanding of age limits and
age restrictions (including age limits on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube etc). Children will be bringing home a
great magazine called Digital Parenting which is well worth a read and also check out the E-safety page of the
school website for lots of useful links to games, videos and activities to start the conversation at home.

Academy Update
I wanted also to give you an update as we have now been an academy for nearly a whole month. In our 2015
school development plan, one section is entirely devoted to matters related to setting up our multi academy
trust. This will be available on the school website soon. Headteachers and Principals have been meeting to
arrange staff training and link our schools further. We have been in discussions to implement an 11 by 11 plan
across all 3 schools. I am sure you are thinking, What is 11 by 11? This means across all 3 schools that staff
will be thinking of 11 fundamental primary experiences that we want children across our trust to have before
they are 11 years old and leave for High School. This will be a thread of consistency between trust schools that
link the children and our curriculums together.
